The Dress Code Project is a global alliance of salons/shops committed to providing positive, gender-affirming services for LGBTQ2S+ clients.
Join us for a peaceful escape into nature on Monday October 07. Led by certified Forest Therapy Guide Ken Ouendag, this event offers a soothing way to decompress, reconnect with the natural world, and share a tranquil experience with your community.
Forest therapy, inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku or “Forest Bathing,” invites you to slow down and tune into your senses. During this guided walk, Ken will lead you through a series of gentle invitations designed to help you relax, refresh your mind, and deepen your connection with the surrounding environment.
This isn’t just about the benefits nature provides—such as reduced stress, improved mood, and a greater sense of belonging—it’s also a chance to share stories and simply have fun in a supportive community setting.
Spaces are limited to 12 participants to ensure an intimate and personalized experience. We’ll gather at 1:00 PM at the Spray River West trailhead (just past the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel) and wrap up by 3:00 PM.
Please note a waiver as part of the registration process will be required to be filled out upon arrival.
Banff Pride is so proud and honoured to offer up the stage once again to our community as a safe space for folx to tell their stories, speak their truths, and share their talents. These have come to be some of our favourite nights in Banff!
Our Mic is open to all your hidden talents!
Read Poetry! Belt a ballad! Unleash your inner Drag Queen! Make us giggle with stand up!

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or new to e-Biking, come and show your pride along this fun Rainbow Ride! This guided e-Bike tour will take you through some of Banff's amazing scenery while fostering a sense of community and inclusivity. Learn about our local wildlife, and maybe spot some action from the elk rutting season (from a safe distance). Embrace the fall colours, and connect with fellow adventurers in a fun and supportive environment.
We are providing e-Bikes for everyone, but you are welcome to bring your own!
We will meet at 4 pm at the Bear Street offices of White Mountain Adventures, the sponsor of this ride. Come a little early if you want to decorate your borrowed e-Bike and add more rainbows to our ride! The tour will be around 2 hours going along the golf course loop, with a few stops along the way.
Level of Activity: Easy
Distance: Approx. 11 km biking Banff
Tour Length: 2 hour round trip
Cost : $10 (in support of Banff Pride)
Minimum age: 14 years old
Minimum rider height: 5'0"
What to wear:
Dress warmer than you would for a day of walking, as travelling by e-Bike creates the effect of a cooling wind for riders. As the e-Assist can do most of the work, riders may not generate the same amount of
heat as they would on a regular bike. Recommend long sleeve shirt plus windbreaker or light jacket at a
minimum. Running shoes/walking shoes recommended; no sandals or flip-flops

Between Two Trans: An engaging discussion about trans issues between Sullivan Brenner and Banff Pride Board Director River Lachlan.
River (he/they) is a non-binary trans man living in the Bow Valley over the past 6 years. Throughout his time, River has been devoted to creating safe spaces for queer people to be themselves through outreach and engagement in the community. They celebrate their accomplishment of starting the first queer discussion group at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in 2019, leading him to currently sit as a Board Director on the Banff Pride Society. He fosters connection with members in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community by volunteering, participating, and performing in many pride events. River strives to challenge binary ways of thinking, and this is ignited by the array of spaces and connections that they have made in the Bow Valley.
